In most states, you are required by law to carry auto insurance if you own and drive a car. The mandatory coverages are usually bodily injury and property damage liability as well as personal injury coverage. This is to be sure that, if you get into an accident, there is money to pay for any damage to persons or property as well as any injuries sustained in the accident. Coverage for damage to your car is normally an optional coverage although it may be required by a finance company or leasing company.
